Out of the dark of the gorgio camp,
Out of the grime and the gray

He has, in fact, the slouch and dress
Which bullock-driver stamp him.

With camp and march and battle. Ere the dawn
Shall I be mustered out of your command,
And mustered into the Grand Host of heaven.'

I count their white tents' lengthening lines,
And think of those who are far away.

And the next morning, at daylight,
Captain Macbean's men were ordered to headquarters camp,

For never did they any theft;
'Twas known when they their camping left,
And jumped the cold out of their rags;
In spirit rich as money-bags.
